About this trip

Located just a ferry journey away in the northwest of France, Brittany provides a truly authentic destination where students can immerse themselves in the traditional French culture. This beautiful region is awash with varied port and market towns, combined with the traditional countryside villages.

GCSE and A level French language students can practice their skills firsthand at the port town of St Malo which houses the Grand Aquarium and beautiful sandy beaches. A school trip to Brittany isn't a trip without a visit to the famous Mont St Michel, a famous French abbey which is also the inspiration for locations in many films. 

See what Brittany has to offer your French language class by taking a look at a school tour itinerary below.

Educational Visits In Brittany

Other Study Visits

  • Cancale
    The first thing that’s springs to most people’s minds when mentioning Cancale is ‘oysters.' Visit the Oyster farm where these delicacies have been cultivated in this attractive fishing village for hundreds of years. La Ferme Marine is a family company where students can see the farmers at work and visit an exhibition of shellfish from around the world; there’s also some very nice shell-inspired jewellery in the on-site shop.
  • Fougères & Castle
    The main reason to visit Fougères is to see its magnificent castle, one of the finest fortresses in Europe, but this little town also has a lovely medieval district and a lively Saturday-morning market where groups will love spending time purchasing some traditional food and gifts and even speaking a little French. Catch the mini train for a fun 45 minute sightseeing trip around the town.
  • Dinan
    One of the most attractive and best preserved small towns in Brittany, Dinan’s 3km-long ramparts, half-timbered houses, beautiful port and cobbled streets filled with craft shops, galleries and cafes’ are all worth seeing, especially the old town.
  • Apple and Cider Farm - La Ferme de l'Hermitière
    Visit the orchard of 6000 apple trees in the Normandy countryside of “La Manche”. It is a family business from father to son for 6 generations!
  • Cobac Theme Park and Aqua Park
    The theme park rides are aimed at younger teenage children, whereas the Aqua Park is aimed at everyone and offers a great day out only 45 minutes from St Malo.

Why choose WST for School Trips?

At WST the customer is at the heart of everything we do. A strong set of values runs right from the core of our business. We believe that this is what makes us stand out from the crowd.

10/10 service from start to finish. Could not have been on a better trip. The organisation of activities, travel, the meals/restaurants, the hotel were all superb. After covid and the nerves surrounding taking 40 pupils away I can honestly say WST has put together a fantastic service.
